Renewable energy is responsible for contributing almost 29.3% of human
energy use all across the globe. With pollution levels rising
incessantly, renewable energy resources have turned out to be a major
boon to the environment as well as investors world over. Green energy
overtook fossil fuels in attracting investment for power generation in
the recent times. Wind, solar and other clean technologies attracted
investments which overtook that for gas and coal for electrical power
generation, with more than a third of the green cash destined for
Britain and the rest of Europe.

The highest level of growth for renewable investment came from China,
India and other developing countries, which are fast catching up on the
West in switching out of fossil fuels to improve energy security and
tackle climate change. A variety of new renewable sectors have been
attracting capital, while different geographical areas such as Kenya and
Angola are too entering the field. Wind energy sector, where the US is
now global leader, has been attracting the highest new worldwide
investment. Biofuels were the next most popular investment. Europe still
remains the main center for investment in green power with huge amounts
of money being pumped into projects across the continent, and then is
followed by US.

In developing countries, China leads with most investments being made in
wind and biomass plants. A number of Green New Deals, government
reflationary packages designed to kick start economies and boost action
to counter climate change have been laid out by leaders around the
world. Many of the policies to achieve growth over the medium-term are
already in place, including feed-in tariff regimes, mandatory renewable
energy targets and tax incentives. There is too much emphasis amongst
some policy-makers on support mechanisms, and not enough on the urgent
needs of investors at the moment.
